All Terrain Stroller Advice

I have a BOB revolution and I love it. They have different types, jogging, all terrrain. They are pricey but so worth it if you go outside alot. I actually got mine on ebay.

I have a Jeep All-Terrain stroller and really like it. I bought it for my first son almost 4 years ago. It has speakers for a CD player so you can listen to music on your walks. I haven't used it since we've had a double stroller that we got in June.

I got a Baby Trend Expedition jogging stroller off of Craig's List and have really enjoyed it. I got it because my Graco Metrolite couldn't handle the bumpy sidewalks. If you're only using it for walking I wouldn't worry too much about specifics, as long as it has the bicycle tire wheels you'll be okay.

Try to find a jogging stroller with very large wheels in the front and rear of the stroller. The front wheel(s) should offer a stationary position (for moving quickly) and a rotating position (for walks and maneuvering). Also, some of the jogging strollers have shock absorbers in the rear, which helps quite a bit with the jostling from rocks and uneven terrain.

When I bought mine, I couldn't find many options in the local stores. I shopped online and found a great one that had a better warrenty, better craftmanship and cost less including shipping than what was available in stores. It's worth shopping around. I bought a InStep that has the basket underneith the seats, option of hand brake or foot brake on several models, sun visor, comfortable grip, bar is positioned higher than many strollers for comfort, came with a hand pump for the tires, came with a plastic cover when it rains, folds very flatl, tires are removable to make it even flatter. I think I paid about $180 for a double stroller, so the single jogging stroller would be a bit less.

There is a really great group of moms who love strollers and give great advice about the best ones, including selling gently used ones on Yahoo Groups. The group is called Strollers and Beyond. Check it out for the best stroller advice!

I would be really surprised if you broke a Graco stroller. They're very tough and meant to take the yard and park. We've had 3 and never broke one yet. We bought two of them second hand, so I'm sure they've been put to the test. All 3 are still in use, 2 by other people and no problems yet. The only real difference between all terrain strollers and regular ones, are the size of the wheels. The bigger the wheel, the easier to push. So if your graco is a full size stroller with big wheels, there really won't be that much difference.

i have a bob revolution jogger and i love it! we are trail walkers so it is great, the big tires make a difference. it is pricey, but good for up to 70lbs. so it is the only one you need. one thing the bottom storage bin can be tricky. we got ours on amazon...saved a little

I have two BOB stollers - the Ironman and the Revolution. LOVE them! The revolution is great for inside stores since it has the smaller pivoting front wheel. I also have used the revolution on plane trips with ease and walks outside. I use the ironman for running or rough trail walks. They are great!

We recently got the Baby Trend Expedition Jogger Deluxe, and absolutely love it and all it's features. The front wheel can either be locked or swivel. It easy to open and close and isn't too big.

I love the Phil&Teds strollers. We have the e3 buggy (I think it has a new name now) and it's great because it converts to a double stroller, which we're now using. I got it through babycenter.com while they were having a sale and the customer service was outstanding.

We've had 2 Graco's (our boys are 5.5 yrs. apart, we didn't save the first one) and they've both lived thru everything you've mentioned, quite nicely. They're very sturdy strollers and should suffice for what you need.
